Hi, this seems like a great update. Could someone however please explain why on four occasions Ive been given 250 cubits and at least twice I have received 79 cubits? I am a VIP if that makes a difference.

We have random days where we give out 250 Cubits. Look out for the notifications.Also, if you have 100+ Cubits when starting the day, you'll get 50 Cubits when logging on.If you have 0 Cubits when logging on, you'll get 100 Cubits.If you have 30 Cubits when logging on, you'll get 70 Cubits. Etc etc.

The goal is to allow all users to start the day with 100 Cubits, regardless. However, if you have 50 or more Cubits, you'll always get 50 Cubits. Even if you have 99 Cubits. As the minimum per day is 50 Cubits.

1 - We had that for 5 years, it was seriously abused. 90% of players selected to start as White. Some players who had no preference played games with Black over 80% of the time.

2 - Sometimes players just can't play for whatever reason. They may be seeking with an automatic accept, and left their PC for a short time. It would slightly unfair to penalize the users who have to minimize ChessCube for legitimate reasons.

1. Let me select black pieces when I start a seek. 2. Charge people 5 cubits if they accept a seek and quit the game without moving a single piece.

Thanks
